S. Weather Bureau, as he officially ushered out the year 1936. meteorologically speaking, last night. In pronouncing that forecast for New Year's Day. he bid good-bye to one of the mildest, if not the mildest Decembers in the 50 year history of the Weather Bureau.

Although the last two days were not included in the reckoning, Mr. Dow stated that the mean temperature for the month was about nine degrees above the normal of 24.2 for December. With the mercury soaring up to 51 yesterday, that may mean that December 1936, will prove to have been even milder than the all-time record of 34.8 degrees, set in 1891. An unofficial glance at the office records revealed that the mildest day of the month was the 28th. when the glass read 53 degrees above and the coldest the 8th when the mercury dropped to five below.

Doesn't Mean a Thing Pressed for a winter forecast, Mr. Dow said that meteorologists have been trying since Columbus discovered America, to read a portent into un-seasonal warmth and cold. Sticking strictly to business, he stated that December war normal in the majority of respects, amounted to approximately 15 inches, more than 11 falling on the 2nd and 3rd. None of it now remains here. As a general rule, it was a variable month, the temperature rising and falling in wide extremes.
